Note 1:
Jedi Master Yoda,

Hello. This is Queen Amidala from Naboo. I have been notified that two Jedi are going to be ambassadors for me. I wanted to thank you for sending them. You are the head of the Jedi Council, right?

Sincerely,

Queen Amidala

Head of council I am, and welcome you are. Hoping peace this will bring.

Note 3:
Jedi Master Yoda,

Have the Jedi been sent yet? Things are getting pretty tight here. I need to go contact Senator Palpatine, the Senator of Naboo.

I hope that the negotiations bring peace. I’m starting to get a little worried.

Queen Amidala

Note 4:
Queen Amidala,

Jedi are on their way. Help they will, for best trained they are. Know what to do they do, negotiations will hopefully bring peace, as hope we do.

Jedi Master Yoda

Note 5:
Jedi Master Yoda,

The negotiations seem to have failed. I contacted the Trade Federation Leaders, and they pretended they knew nothing about the Jedi. I could tell they were lying. I don’t know what happened to the Jedi, but something happened.

Queen Amidala
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 6:
Queen Amidala,

Contact the Jedi ambassadors I will, find out what is going on. Tell you when find out I have, if you do not first.

Jedi Master Yoda

Note 7:
Jedi Master Yoda,

The Jedi ambassadors have not arrived….and the Trade Federation has taken over Theed. There is an Invasion Army, and the Trade Federation Leaders are trying to force me to sign a treaty. I won’t do it, but I’m worried about my people. The Leaders are taking us to camps.

Please tell me where these ambassadors are.

Queen Amidala

Note 9:
Jedi Master Yoda,

The Jedi came to my rescue while I was being led away by droids. Their invasion has reached the capital. Something must be done to stop the Trade Federation. I am going to Coruscant so that I may plead our case to the Senate…because Senator Palpatine needs my help. Even he does not know of how dire the situation is on Naboo.

The Jedi are with me now. I only hope that we can get to Coruscant without any problem.

The Trade Federation has set up a blockade on Naboo, so we must get passed the blockade first.

We will be on Coruscant soon, I would hope.

Queen Amidala
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 10:
Queen Amidala,

Glad to hear that rescued you were, and that the Jedi are with you. Hope you get to Coruscant safely I do, will inform the senator of your coming if you wish.
Careful you must be, still very dangerous.

Jedi Master Yoda
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 11:
Jedi Master Yoda,

I thought you would be pleased to know that our ship made it passed the blockade, and that no one was hurt…except a few droids that we lost. We would have been destroyed had it not been for a very good little droid with the number R2-D2. I’m cleaning it up right now.

We do have a problem, however….the hyperdrive on the ship was badly damaged, so we and it is leaking. We don’t have enough power to get us to Coruscant. I don’t know what we’re going to do….we’ll have to land somewhere. The Jedi are discussing locations right now. I hope they are careful and do not select a planet with the Trade Federation on it.

I am not sure when we will be able to get to Coruscant, but we will get there soon….hopefully.

I am well aware of the danger, and we will all be very careful. I will NOT let the Trade Federation stop me.

Queen Amidala
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 12:
Queen Amidala,

Trust the Jedi you must, because done this kind of thing they have before. Know not to land on a Trade Federation controlled planet they do. Will find a safe planet to land, they will. Trust their judgment you must.

Cleaning droids, you are? Queen, you are, are you not? Cleaning droids you should be doing. Not your place, Your Majesty, and know that I believe you do.

Inform the Council, and the Chancellor of your problem, I will, if you wish.


Jedi Master Yoda
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 13:
Jedi Master Yoda,

I will try to trust the Jedi. It is just that I have never had experience with a Jedi Knight, and as Queen of Naboo, I must be careful whom I trust.

We have landed on a desert planet called Tatooine. It in the middle of nowhere, and it is a quite small planet, and it is not what I am used to. I do not know if it was wise to land on this planet. I do not see how they would carry a Nabooian hyperdrive. We have learned that our hyperdrive must be replaced. It is beyond repair.

I have gone with Qui-Gon and a Gungan named Jar-Jar Binks, and we have entered a small shop. I do not understand the Jedi’s move on this. The shop is very small, and I really do not see how we can find the part we’re looking for here.

Right now I’m talking to this little boy. He’s very interesting, but I hope that Qui-Gon hurries up. I really don’t think I can talk to this little boy forever.

Who are you to judge what is within my place and what is not? Yes I am the Queen of Naboo…but there’s nothing special about me. I am a human, and I feel that as Queen I should not order people around all the time and sit like a lazy bum. I think it is right for me to clean the droid who saved all of our lives. I feel it is right for a queen to show gratitude.

Maybe you could send someone here with a Naboo hyperdrive so that we could be on our way. Yes, please inform the Council and the Chancellor of our problem. I have already told Senator Palpatine, and a Senator from another planet…Senator Bail Antilles of our problem.

Hopefully we can get off this planet quickly. I enjoy learning about different cultures, but I also feel that my people are suffering and dying and that I am deserting them. I must go to Coruscant as soon as I can.


Queen Amidala

Note 14:
Queen Amidala,

If offended you I have, sorry I am. Queen like you, meet I never have, nor meet any as young as you. Suppose wrong of my to judge you by others, I was, hope forgive me you do.

Informed the Council and Chancellor of your problem I have, worried they are, as well as the others senators.

Knowing what he's doing Master Qui-Gon does, but bring you and that Jar-Jar, with him, um, wise I do not think that is. Nothing with you is has, only Master Qui-Gon go with the Queen of Naboo, is not safe on Tatooine for a Queen of any. But knows what he's doing Qui-Gon does. Protect you he will with his life, trust him you must.


Master Yoda
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 15:
Master Yoda,

No, you have not offended me. Of course I forgive you for trying to judge me based on what you know of other queens.

Well we have another problem. The planet we landed on is a Maurder planet, which means it is not part of the Republic. Our Republic money does us no good here. We have plenty of Republic credits, but they are worthless. The Maurders have a completely different kind of money system and they do not accept Republic credits. We have nothing of value to trade for Maurder credits, so we could be stuck here a very long time.

A bad sandstorm has come up and the little boy from the shop has offered to let us stay with him and his family until the storm clears. I thought that was very nice of him. He bought Qui-Gon, Jar-Jar, and I these cakes at a small street shop. It doesn’t look like we have much of a choice, so I think Qui-Gon’s going to have us stay at the boy’s house.

I do like to explore strange places, even if they are slightly dangerous. Qui-Gon is with me, and I really have nothing to fear on this strange planet. I’m sure Qui-Gon will defend me if we run into problems, and I am quite good at defending myself anyway. I am well trained in self defense.

Qui-Gon is the first Jedi I have ever dealt with personally, and I find it hard to trust him at times. Sometimes I do not know if I can rely on him or not…

Well I’m off to the little boy’s house, so I will talk to you later.


Queen Amidala
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 16:
Queen Amidala,

Hmm, not take credits, the Maurders will, not good this is. Send rescue ship, we will, if want us to, you do. Come here soon, you must. Dangerous, for Queen and non-Queen alike it is, in the Outer Rims of the galaxy. Protect you, though, will the Jedi with their lives.

Right choice, Qui-Gon made, I believe, with staying with the boy and his family. Kind the boy is, and noticed this Qui-Gon must have, to trust him.

Yes, hard to trust the Jedi Master it is at times. Very quiet, alert, and protective he is, and yet quite stubborn. Hard to trust one you never knew, and yet protect you he must and will do, for his duty it is. Hard he may seem to be, and disobedient, but obeys the will of the Force, he does at all time, even when some wish not to. No matter how hard, trusting him is, you must, for the only person with you, that will get you off that planet and here, he is. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan protect you will, with their lives, and let no harm touch you they will.

Inform the Council and Chancellor of your problems, I shall.


Master Yoda
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 17:
Master Yoda,

No, it is not good that the Maurders will not take credits. You’ll send a rescue ship? Are you sure you can and that it is not too dangerous? You’d have to ask Qui-Gon whether he wants a rescue ship here or not. I know that the Jedi will protect me and the others with their lives. We will get to Coruscant as soon as we can.

We’ve just had dinner…and it was rather strange. I was not used to their kind of food. Anakin (the boy….did I tell you about him?) showed me the droid that he built and also his pod. Can you believe that a little 9 year old boy built those things….and the droid works. I don’t know about the pod, but it probably does.

Yes, the boy is kind.

I will try to trust Qui-Gon, but if he were to do something irrational, it would be hard for me to trust him.

What have the Council and Chancellor said about our situation?


Queen Amidala
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 18:
Queen Amidala,

Decided to send a rescue ship, has the Council and Chancellor, and Chosen a master and padawan to go on it, the Council has. Waiting for my 'say so' they are, but inform Master Qui-Gon I shall, before sending them on their way.

Different Tatooine and Naboo are, food, and many other things are different.

Tell me about Anakin you have already. Change boy, he is, very bright he must be to a droid and pod.

Tell you, I will when Qui-Gon replies to my message. If wants a rescue ship to come, he does, send it we will. Be careful you must, Tatooine is a dangerous planet.


Master Yoda

Note 19:
First Amidala and Yoda Note written since AOTC came out



Master Yoda,

Great!! I’m glad that you’ve decided to send a rescue ship for us. So there is another master and Padawan that is among the members of the rescue ship? Very good. I’m so excited! Now the slave named Anakin (who I have already told you about) won’t have to risk his life in the pod race for us, and we don’t have to be a burden on his mother any longer. I’m sure Qui-Gon will be pleased with the good news.

Yes, there are BIG differences between Tatooine and Naboo. Although this planet is interesting, I don’t think I would want to spend much time here. I cannot wait to get to Coruscant so that I can plead Naboo’s case before the Senate. I just MUST have a say in the situation.

Yes, Anakin is an extremely bright little boy. He has built much more than just a droid and a pod, although those are his two biggest projects. I cannot believe this…he is only nine years old!

He just finished putting the finishing touches on his pod. It works….but it’s good that he doesn’t have to use it to win money for us.

Tatooine is a dangerous planet, but I have been around danger before. I can handle myself…besides that Qui-Gon is with me and I know that he will not let anything happen to me.


Queen Amidala
